"As for the profit, my idea is to split it 60-40 after covering operational costs, with 60% going to you and 40% to me. What do you think?"
Hardy had thought this through.
This was a $3 billion deal. If they split it 60-40, that would be $1.2 billion much more than his current total assets.
Moreover, there were plenty of ways to maneuver within the operational cost structure.
"60-40?" General Williams shook his head. "The higher-ups won't agree to that split. At most, 80-20."
"70-30 then," Hardy suggested, lowering his voice to a near whisper, "And I'll set up an offshore account for you, where I'll deposit 1% of the total profit."
A gleam of interest flashed in General Williams eyes.
One percent of the total profit if the final profit was only $1 billion, he would still pocket $10 million, an astronomical sum for the time.
